The provider was 2 months out scheduling for the surgery I needed. He contacted his associate and within an hour of my completed appointment with him, I was contacted personally by his associate and scheduled two days later for the surgery I needed. Kathy from the office even reached out to my daughter to relay the specifics of the surgery to make sure I understood everything. Kathy went the extra mile to ensure I was taken care of and it really made a difference.
